Amphipod Hydraform Handheld Pocket Bottle FlashBlu Customer feedback

Comments: I recently purchased two of the handheld pocket bottles for a 50K trail race. They were great and very comfortable for a competitive running pace. The pouch expands to hold 3 gels(4 snugly). Since the spout was a little tight, I treated them with a little olive oil and worked the spout up and down to lubricate. After letting it sit for 5-10 mins, and washing the oil off the lid, it seemed better. I had no problems during the race. Removing the pouch and top ring is easy and is a convenient but effective design. I highly reccommend the amphipod after giving  Nathan and Camelback handhelds a try. It was nice to be able to order from Running Wharehouse with free shipping and return shipping. 2 day air! From: Mary K, Hollidaysburg, PA USA Comments: I run marathons on a weekly mileage of 25 to 50+ miles. I've been using Amphipod Handheld for longer training runs (15-20 miles), and generally like the design. Wide mouth is convenient to fill, and I could easily use ice cubes in the summer. The strap and the bottle fit well and allow my hand to stay relaxed, while the pouch is handy for small items like IDs, keys, gels etc. Issues: The spout is made of hard plastic and is extremely tight compared to other sports bottles I used. I have to use my teeth to pull it out, and then whack it with my free hand to close.  This is inconvenient on the run. It is difficult or impossible to remove the plastic ring that goes around the top of the bottle when you need to wash the strap/pouch. As a result, I have never used a washing machine when the pouch and strap get sweaty. From: Peter, Toronto, CA
